The Trump Administration Casts Out the ‘Soul’ of MAHA
The withdrawal of Casey Means’s nomination for surgeon general is the latest blow to the movement.
TL;DR
- President Trump withdrew Casey Means's nomination for surgeon general.
- Means's nomination faced opposition from three Republican senators due to her controversial views on health and the medical establishment.
- The withdrawal is seen as a blow to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA) movement.
- Nicole Saphier, a radiologist and Fox News contributor, is the new nominee for surgeon general.
- Saphier holds some views that align with Kennedy's but is considered more mainstream than Means.
- The MAHA movement has faced other setbacks, including a judge's ruling against some of Kennedy's initiatives and White House efforts to limit his public statements on certain health topics.
